Top Ten Teams
1) Oklahoma—Ready for the Longhorns.
2) LSU—Played well against Idle.
3) Texas—Was a little surprised by how easy they did it on the road.
4) Penn State—Not as close against Purdue as most thought
5) BYU—Could have scored 100, called the dogs off.
6) Alabama—Won without looking real good, part of winning sometimes.
7) Missouri—Still waiting for a defense to stop them.
8) Tulsa—Looks like they are going to have agripe if they keep winning.
9) Boise State—As good as anyone right now.
10) Oklahoma State—Just putting the Cowboys here to keep Texas Tech out of the top 10.
Ten Scores that surprised me the most
1) Hawaii 32, Fresno State 29—This game was at Fresno State.
2) Missouri 52, Nebraska 17—For some reason I thought the Huskers would play with more pride for the home folk.
3) Army 44, Tulane 13—Any Army win is a huge surprise, this one is extra huge.
4) Virginia 31, Maryland 0—I probably would have ranked the Terps if they won as 13 1/2 point favorites.
5) UTEP 30, So. Miss 27—That firing Jeff Bower bad karma we talked about all spring must be kicking in.
6) Tulsa 63, Rice 28—Just surprised it went less than 100 total points.
7) Virginia Tech 27, Western Kentucky 13—Just surprised it was that close.
8) South Carolina 31, Ole Miss 24—Didn't think the 'Cocks could score 31 points.
9) Pittsburgh 26, South Florida 21—Anytime Wanny beats a ranked team it's a shocker.
10) Tennessee 13, Northern Illinois 9—Phil Fulmer must feel real secure right now.
Ten Other Things That Surprised Me
1) Lisa Horne picking nine correctly against me—Of course she picks my week to catch fire, Congrats!
2) Me picking so poorly in Lisa's pick 'em—Thankfully most of those games were really "no plays."
3) How bad the video was on Gameplan yesterday—Did Ole Miss and South Carolina play in a cloud?
4) Charlie Weiss trying to blow the game—You never give your opponent the ball back with a chance to win or tie without trying to score to put it out of reach first. I don't get it.
5) The Wisconsin Band—Not that they got suspended, but that they got more mentions on TV than they normally do in a season.
6) How bad the commentary is on Vs.—And I quote "Another big reason Kansas isn't winning right now is because Iowa State has 20 points and Kansas doesn't have any." (such insight).
7) Did I mention the commentary on Vs. yet?
